Weightloss Wednesday...

I know it has been a while. The fact is that I was working at it and not seeing a whole lot of progress which made me discouraged and ready to give up...but I haven't. In fact I have hit the glorious 10 pound mark (finally) and am ready to keep moving down. The last time I posted I had mentioned that I would be increasing my running but I didn't exactly tell you what was up. Mostly because I hadn't completely made up my mind but I have decided to run a half-marathon (13.1 miles) in September.

It wasn't a hard decision to make because it is on my bucket list and running makes me happy (most of the time). There is a lot of dedication that is required and my body has been a little fatigued but so far I am in Week 4 of the training program and I haven't quit or even thought about it. I chose a 13 week training program in which you run 3 times a week. Two shorter runs (between 30 & 55 minutes) and one longer distance run (between 3 and 12 miles). So far my longest run has only been 5 miles and since I like to keep it real I will tell you that it is the longest run I have ever done.

The one thing that seems to help me the most is to eat my biggest meal at lunch. I have only been snacking at dinner and that has helped a lot. My biggest advice is to not diet with a man!! They can seriously eat a banana for dinner 3 nights a week (and not change anything else) and loose 15 pounds in 3 weeks!! It is insane!! BOYS!! :) Sweet running-

First and foremost I am a mom but I am also a girl who loves food. I enjoy food because it brings people together. My enthusiasm for food was handed down to me from my mother and almost everything I know about food and life I have learned from her.
I live in Lakeview, Oregon with my two children Tate (aka Taters-16) and Taylea (aka Tales-14). Now you understand the blog name!! I used to work full time as a Title Officer at a local Title Company but in January of this year I purchased a local deli and am now a business owner. Love it!!
